OUTSOURCING OF ON-SITE LABORATORIES

Transcription

1 SGS MINERALS SERVICES T3 SGS OUTSOURCING OF ON-SITE LABORATORIES On-site mine and process support laboratories are a niche technical area that requires specific expertise. These labs provide critical operational, environmental and metallurgical data that guide site activities as well as establishing the value of the products produced. As a result onsite labs should be designed and operated by those with extensive experience in this area. WHY OUTSOURCE? Outsourcing of mine-site laboratories allows you to allocate capital and staff more efficiently, concentrate on your core competencies and ensure that the data you base important decisions upon is accurate and consistent. The impartiality of a third party outsourcing partner ensures your results are transparent and meet regulatory reporting requirements. Many companies choose to outsource their analytical requirements for exploration or production laboratory services to SGS. SGS s expertise is unparalleled in the industry, with more than 100 geochemical laboratories currently in operation. We apply the same principles, procedures and quality standards to our outsourced laboratories that we do to our commercial labs. Allowing SGS to design, staff and operate your lab will ensure that you have at your disposal a full scope of capabilities for the fast turn-around of accurate, reliable data needed to run and optimize your plant operations and confirm the value produced by your operations. SGS also offers a comprehensive lubricant analysis service that will help you determine the condition of your equipment and the longevity of the lubricant. With a team of experienced engineers and mechanics behind established analysis, SGS can improve the efficiency and performance of your heavy machinery and support the development of your operations. The lubricant testing facility is an on-site, modular laboratory with the capability to perform analysis for engines, transmission and hydraulic oils. OUTSOURCING OPTIONS FOR GEOCHEMICAL LABS SGS provides mine-site laboratories that offer high quality and rapid turnaround for a range of analyses that can be tailored to your specific needs. These analyses include precious metals, base metals and industrial minerals. SGS can also provide sample preparation services when you are undertaking remote or high volume exploration programs. The SGS Build, Own, Operate, and Maintain (BOOM) initiative is available globally to the minerals industry. This program provides clients the opportunity to outsource capital requirements, engineering, construction, commissioning, maintenance and operation of non-core facilities. BUILD Our SGS engineering team has years of practical experience providing turnkey design and construction services building accurate and reliable laboratories and processing facilities. OWN SGS offers flexible and innovative financing. OPERATE Well trained SGS employees assure safe and efficient operation while generating the accurate data required to meet your operational requirements. MAINTAIN SGS assumes full responsibility for the routine upkeep, calibration, and validation of the facilities, providing you with total confidence in the data.

2 SGS MINERALS SERVICES T3 SGS SGS TURNKEY LUBRICANT TESTING LABORATORIES Lubricants are used for the protection of many heavy machinery parts and can directly affect machine performance. Analysis and diagnosis of lubricants can identify the potential for degradation and contamination which impacts the operation, wear and service life of an engine. Over the years, SGS has built a unique database of more than 15,000 engines and units. This extensive database allows SGS to give you a comprehensive service, providing information about the condition of the machinery as well as cost effective maintenance advice. EXPERT ANALYSIS AND DIAGNOSIS SGS lubricant testing services provide remote expert diagnosis performed by experienced master mechanics and mechanical engineers. The analysis of oil and other machinery lubricants provides data on degradation and contamination, which directly affects machine performance. The lubricant testing facility is an on-site, modular laboratory with the capability to perform analysis for engines, transmission and hydraulic oils. Analytical laboratory capabilities include: Lubricant Condition (viscosity, oxidation, TBN, TAN) Combustion (FTIR) Contamination (FTIR) Wear (spectrometry) SGS experienced mechanics carry out diagnosis that considers the operational environment. This includes the type of equipment and technical characteristics assessed. The diagnosis contains information about the current condition of the equipment and the lubricant. Diagnosticians work closely with you to ensure that technical needs and concerns are met efficiently and your results are delivered quickly. Maximum turnaround time is 48 hours. Interpretation of the analytical results is systematically compared to the previous results and SGS database. An analysis report and detailed testing results are also readily available via SGS oil testing web data portal. OPTIMIZE WITH PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE Lubricant analysis provides a form of predictive maintenance to maximize your return on investment, minimize production downtime and reduce the direct and indirect costs associated with repair and maintenance. Optimizing the performance of heavy equipment and machinery is a vital component in successfully managing your operations. With SGS expertise in oil and lubricant analysis, you can maximize lubricant use through extending drain intervals and receiving fast lubricant testing and analysis service. This will allow rapid decisions to be made about maintenance and scheduling planned equipment downtime. ACCESS TO WEB PORTAL To ensure you can easily get your data, SGS web portal allows you to manage your equipment / machinery inventory according to your own schedule. In the portal, you can modify your equipment details or register new machinery. A complete history of the samples and data from each piece of machinery is readily available. You can also view statistics to determine root causes for machine failure. IS OUTSOURCING RIGHT FOR YOU? On-site and near site laboratories require a consistent sample flow from the region to be cost effective. SGS can meet with you to discuss all outsourcing options available and determine which, if any, are feasible and meet your requirements in a cost effective manner. WHY SGS? SGS is well recognized in the laboratory testing sector: it is a key part of our business. We operate on-site and near-site laboratories in some of the most remote locations in the world. Our unequalled experience in remote laboratories ensures smooth start-up and operation. This will be particularly important for your staff during start-up as they will be implementing and developing new processes and will need fast, top quality data to guide their activities. Let the team who has successfully brought over 65 mine site labs, past and present, into operation work with you to ensure the success of your project.
